JoJo Fletcher"s $80,000 Engagement Ring: All The Details!

Well done, Jordan Rodgers.



The Bachelorette winner put a ring on it during last night’s finale after JoJo Fletcher accepted his proposal.


The sparkler is a 3.5 carat beauty designed by Neil Lane (the series’ resident jeweler) that features an oval-cut stone set on a pave eternity band.


“Give me that hand!” Rodgers said playfully to Fletcher on the finale.



The two revealed on After The Final Rose that they are living together, and last night Rodgers posted a sentimental message to his future wife on Instagram.


When you look back at your life it’s those little moments when one decision completely changes the course of your life. A few months ago I took a leap of faith that took me on a journey that lead me to the love of my life,” the former football player wrote.


@joelle_fletcher I love you more than anything! You are the most amazing woman on this planet, you are my best friend, and my rock. You are the best thing I wake up to in the morning and the last thing on my mind at night.”


#AllTheFeels



“Today is not the start of our love story, it’s the start of a new chapter. I have grown to love you more and more with every passing day. I loved reliving the greatest day of our life tonight. The day we decided to take on the world together. To be fully committed to each other for the rest of our lives. That seems like a long time, but already I know it won’t be nearly long enough. 


“I never grow tired of laughing, crying, living, and loving with you, and I never will. Here’s to the next 100 years, and a 100 more after that, because no amount of time is ever long enough to spend with the love of your life. You are my everything, and I’m so ready to marry you and do life with you!!”


BRB, signing up for Bumble…


Patton Oswalt Continues to Grieve Wife"s Death: Read His Message

Patton Oswalt remains in mourning.



Over four months have gone by since the comedian lost his wife in shocking, tragic fashion, as Michelle McNamara died in her sleep on April 21.


But that’s not nearly enough time for one to move on from the love of one’s life.


After bidding McNamara an emotional goodbye soon after her passing, Oswalt has once again taken to Facebook in order to express his grief.


“Depression is the tallest kid in the 4th grade, dinging rubber bands off the back of your head and feeling safe on the playground, knowing that no teacher is coming to help you,” he wrote.


“But grief? Grief is Jason Statham holding that 4th grade bully’s head in a toilet and then f-cking the teacher you’ve got a crush on in front of the class.”


That’s a unique way to put it.


But it does actually make a lot of sense.



“Grief makes depression cower behind you and apologize for being such a dick,” he added.


Oswalt shared this heartbreaking point of view 102 days after McNamara died.


He went on to reference that number.


“102 days at the mercy of grief and loss feels like 102 years and you have sh-t to show for it. You will not be physically healthier. You will not feel ‘wiser.’ You will not have ‘closure.’ You will not have ‘perspective’ or ‘resilience’ or ‘a new sense of self.’


“You WILL have solid knowledge of fear, exhaustion and a new appreciation for the randomness and horror of the universe.


“And you’ll also realize that 102 days is nothing but a warm-up for things to come.”


Oswalt and McNamara were married in 2005.


The two share a seven-year-old daughter, Alice.


“I was face-down and frozen for weeks,” Oswalt wrote of how he felt when he first lost his wife.


“It’s 102 days later and I can confidently say I have reached a point where I’m crawling. Which, objectively, is an improvement. Maybe 102 days later I’ll be walking.”


Despite the pain, Oswalt says he has been shown “new levels of humanity and grace and intelligence” by his family, friends and also by his fans.


“They will show up for you, physically and emotionally, in ways in which make you take careful note and say to yourself, ‘Make sure to try to do that for someone else someday,"” he wrote.


“Complete strangers will send you genuinely touching messages on Facebook and Twitter, or will somehow figure out your address to send you letters which you’ll keep and re-read ’cause you can’t believe how helpful they are.”



Prior to her passing, McNamara was working on a book about a serial killer she dubbed The Golden State Killer.


Oswalt says it will be released at some point and is “amazing.”


The beloved actor also promised his fans he is going to get back into comedy, acting and writing.


At some point.


“I like and working with friends on projects and do all the stuff I was always so privileged to get to do before the air caught fire around me and the sun died,” he said.


“It’s all I knew how to do before I met Michelle. I don’t know what else I’m supposed to do now without her.”

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner: Fourth Baby on the Way?!

At this point, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s separation is more than a little like Batman v Superman.


It’s confusing, a little depressing, and it feels like it’s been going on forever.



It’s been more than a year since the actors first announced they were going their separate ways, but neither has pulled the trigger by actually filing for divorce.


In fact these days, most of the rumors surrounding Bennifer 2.0 have to do with Affleck and Garner getting back together.


Some outlets have already gone so far as leap-frog over the (probably bogus) stories about Ben’s lavish efforts to win Jen back, and skipped right to the Band-Aid baby stage.


Yes, several “insiders” are currently claiming that Garner is pregnant with Affleck’s baby.


It would be the couple’s fourth, and their first since beginning such an arduously slow breakup process that even Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin are like, “C’mon, guys. Sh-t or get off the pot, ya know?”


One source claims the couple is currently “debating” having  fourth child, which is interesting for a number of reasons.


For one thing, it could mean the BenJen PR team is attempting to dial back the pregnancy rumors, while at the some time leaving the door open for future procreation.


Additionally, it means that if Garner does get pregnant, this wasn’t the case of a make-up sex accident.


These two are having serious discussions about expanding their family!


That’s probably as close to an official confrimation as we’re gonna get.


That is, unless Ben brings Jen to the premiere of his next Batman movie, but that would be asking an awful lot of her.
